[ecrea] Human[i]ties Perspective Conference

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: DEADLINE: April 30 2012



CONFERENCE: Human[i]ties Perspective 2012: Empowerment in a Globalized 
Society

Roskilde University, Denmark

5-6 October 2012


Human[i]ties Perspective is an academic conference and career 
orientation event supported by the DG of Education and Culture of the 
European Commission.  As part of the REALISE IT joint initiative between 
the Erasmus Mundus Association (EMA) and OCEANS Network, this conference 
aims to facilitate a collective reflection on some of the key challenges 
facing the Humanities in the 21st century in Europe among young 
academics, professionals, and professors.

Our world is increasingly connected through higher education student 
mobility initiatives, especially in Media, Communication, Education, 
Cultural studies, European studies, and, more widely, the Humanities.  
Integrated mobility in joint-degree and multilateral cooperation program 
like Erasmus Mundus and OCEANS are relevant examples of this.  Thus, the 
Humanities are becoming a more cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, and 
globalized field of study. However, the declining international career 
landscape for graduates of the Humanities, as well as the applicability 
of subjects studied, pose new and complex challenges.

Thus, to inspire and empower recent graduates in the Humanities and 
strengthen the network of professionals in human sciences, this 
conference aims to provide an opportunity for delegates to exchange new 
ideas in the Humanities and share career and application experiences 
face-to-face.  In addition, this event aims to lay the cornerstones of a 
wider Human[i]ties Professional Network, building research groups, 
project teams, and business relations across borders.

- on any topic or period related to the following themes:



«         European Cultural Diplomacy and Cultural Policy
